Far-right pastor's remarks about Catholics roil MAGA world

[Jilly_in_VA]

Faith-based fissures continue to grow among conservatives, as prominent right-wing Catholics and Protestants grapple for control of the MAGA movement’s future.

Recent remarks from far-right pastor Doug Wilson have placed a spotlight on the infighting. Wilson is one of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s mentors, and his denomination preaches that married women shouldn’t have the right to vote. He recently led a prayer service at the Pentagon.

Some of this acrimony began last year, when prominent Catholic figures — including conservative ones — opposed different aspects of the Trump administration’s racist anti-immigrant agenda. Even Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic himself, has had to reckon with some of the invective he falsely directed at Catholic bishops over their support for immigrants.

Wilson’s comments add fuel to that fire. As Right Wing Watch reported, the pastor said recently that in his ideal Christian nation, “public displays of idolatry” would be banned, including Catholic parades.

"the pastor said recently that in his ideal Christian nation, “public displays of idolatry” would be banned, including Catholic parades."

He wants police to patrol the streets snatching non Christian necklaces off people? Lots of people wear symbols that his crazy church would object to
